In December 2009, my husband and I took a road trip to Death Valley National Park, I printed the pictures with all the intention of scrapping them and here I am getting to it in April of 2011! Man, time can really fly!

This first one, I'm entering for the Paper Variety's flower challenge. I used a background paper with flowers and a big paper flowers with a brass button in the middle.

This next one, I'm including because I just got the new World Traveler stack by DCWV and I love it! I was so excited about it and I finally got it! It's so vintage looking and it fits with so many of my travel photos. Tattered Time is next :) It was out of stock when I went shopping this weekend. I was so proud of myself. I walked out of Joanne's with only 3 things! That's unheard of! I'm trying really hard to use what I've got and buy only what I know I'm going to use.

Can't believe the weekend is already over! Hope you all had a great one :)﻿

These past few month have been crazy busy. I think it's helping me stay out of the stores and use my stash. I have made so many layouts during my down times but I don't want to bore you with all of them so instead, here's 2 of my favorites. I consider these the most interesting because I went out of my comfort zone with the sketches and the colors.

I've gone shopping a few times and I got some cute stamps for like 97 cents on clearance at Joann's... too good to pass up! Besides that, my monthly spending used to be around $200 just on scrapbooking supplies! Unbelievable, right? So, next month I'm gonna do some accounting and figure out just how much I'm saving! The great thing is that I don't feel deprived of anything. I have plenty of stash! Just gotta use it up! One thing I have in mind to buy is one {or two} ;) of the new DCWV stacks that are coming out this month. Not like I need them, but I know I'll use them....ok, ok, I think I do need them. Who am I kidding? LOL. Hope you all did well too, and if not, there's always next month!

About Me

Hi! I'm Karla. I Live in southern California with my husband, daughter & our 3 dogs. I've been scrapbooking since 2003 and loved crafts ever since I can remember. I ocassionally make mini albums, cards and altered art. Mostly you'll find 12x12 layouts here.
I love art and crafting and there is so much inspiration out there in people's blogs. I was missing out, so I decided to create a blog to find inspiration and connect with all you talented people!
When I'm not crafting I like to read, hike and travel.
